POLICIES
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last Updated: October 2026
We know plans change. This policy explains what happens if you need to cancel or reschedule a ride, tour, program or consulting service with Clear Paths Experiences.
How booking works
We do not take payments on our website. Every booking starts with an email and a custom quote. Once you accept the quote, we confirm your date by email and send an invoice.
[If a deposit is used:] A deposit of [25%] is due to hold your date. The balance is due [on the day of the program / within 14 days of the invoice].
If you cancel a ride, tour or program
Here’s what happens, based on how much notice you give us:
-
14 or more days before: You get a full refund [minus the deposit].
-
7 to 13 days before: You get a 50% refund, or you can move to a new date at no cost.
-
Less than 7 days before: There is no refund, but we will try to find you a new date.
-
No-show: There is no refund.
Please cancel by email so we both have a record. The date we receive your email is the date we use.
Changing your group size
Please let us know about any changes to your group as soon as you can.
-
Fewer people: If you tell us less than 7 days before, the price will not change.
-
More people: We'll do our best to make room and update your invoice.
Weather and safety
Safety comes first. If weather, trail conditions, smoke or another safety concern means we can't run your program, we will cancel. You can choose:
-
A new date at no extra cost, or
-
A full refund
Light rain is part of being outside. We may still run the program in light rain. We will let you know as early as we can.
If we cancel
If Clear Paths has to cancel for any reason, such as illness or an emergency, you will get a full refund or a new date. Your choice.
Trail design and consulting
Consulting projects are different because the work starts before the final report.
-
Each project has its own written agreement that lists the steps and payment dates.
-
If you end a project early, you pay for the work done up to that date.
-
Payments for work already finished are not refundable.
Leaving early
If a participant chooses to leave a program early, or is asked to leave for safety reasons (see our Terms & Conditions), there is no refund for the unused part.
How refunds are paid
We send refunds the same way you paid, such as e-Transfer or cheque, within [14] days.
